Thanks for having me.

Yeah, I'm not even sure I could call that a hearing.

I mean, to me, that was just like an extended temper tantrum by Pam Bondi.

I don't know how else to describe that.

It was so bizarre.

And what's so strange about this is, you know, for the past couple of months or so, I've been, you know, almost giving them, the Department of Justice, the benefit of the doubt and saying, this is probably just pure incompetence.

No way they are intending to disrespect the survivors.

No way they're just intending to protect the potential co-conspirators and their potential co-abusers.

But after that hearing, when Pam Bondi wouldn't even like look at them, I mean, not even OK, not apologize.

This administration is not a very apology oriented administration, to say the least, but not even to give them the respect of looking at them in the eye, acknowledging their existence, acknowledging what they've been through, just

a temper tantrum i mean just yelling and pointing fingers and insulting i'm at the point where i have no other reasonable explanation that this is a cover-up there is zero disregard for the the survivors of jeffrey epstein and the only care about from this administration this department of justice is protecting themselves i mean i don't know what other and protecting their friends i don't know what other possible conclusion you could come to after viewing that and for the survivors it's the same thing you know what's so unfortunate about this is this is something they're used to

They have been wronged.

They have been disrespected.

They have been exploited.

They have been victimized and re-victimized since the 90s.

I mean, way back from the Maria Farmer complaint that went to nothing with the FBI, to the Alex Acosta deal that I could speak hours about, how that was a travesty of injustice and allowed Epstein to continue to abuse, to Jeffrey Epstein being able to kill himself while in federal custody.

Somehow, and then, of course, Ghislaine Maxwell being convicted and then being transferred to a minimum security resort after she was given a platform by Todd Blanch to just make things up.

So it's nothing new for them, and it's so profound that no matter how many times they're wronged, how many times they're re-victimized, how many times some of the most powerful people in the country like Pam Bondi can disrespect them, they still continue to fight.

So they're frustrated, they're angry.

But as you've seen, and as I think the public has seen for the last couple of years or so, the more angry and the more disrespect they get, the stronger they get and the more they're going to continue to fight.
